The Sister Cities Association of Mansfield, England · since 1989
One name. Friends in every Mansfield in the world.
We are dedicated to forging links between the other Mansfields in the world. We also work closely with Mansfield District Council, which has a formal twinning relationship with Mansfield, Ohio, and Mansfield Rotary Club, twinned with the Rotary Club in Mansfield, Massachusetts.
Mansfields around the world
There are around 40 places called Mansfield, or with Mansfield as part of their name. 33 of them are cities, towns, villages, suburbs and hamlets formally named Mansfield, and there are 7 other places of interest. Over the years, citizens of nearly all of them have visited, or been visited by, citizens of another.
The gatherings
In May 2000 our efforts came to fruition with the Mansfield Millennium Celebration. It started a tradition: Mansfields taking it in turns to host each other.
